		<title>blame the internet for sarah palin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hey, the internet actually does effect real world politics! I watched the Colbert Report for the first time in months this week to observe the  the pop culture commentary on the Republican National Convention, and discovered this little gem: the hype that led to Sarah Palin being picked as McCain&#8217;s vice presidential candidate originated with [...]]]></description>

		<title>pro-troll or control?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[New York  Times Magazine ran a great article this week on hackers, trolls, and other tech-savvy tricksters who make a living &#8211; or at least a hobby &#8211; out of, for lack of a better word, fucking with the internet. Some use complex loopholes in the infrastructure of the web to gain access to sensitive [...]]]></description>

		<title>wikimedia cheats at its own game!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wikipedia is a subject of great controversy amongst observers/participants of Web 2.0. We must give credit to the fact that Wikipedia represents the first attempt to survey and capture the knowledge of the entire human race, as opposed to its scientific and academic elite. Its proponents see it as the democratic version of accepted knowledge; [...]]]></description>

		<title>the issue of sock puppets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve mentioned the phenomena of sock puppets in a couple of previous posts. Sock puppets refer to bloggers or readers who post comments on blogs and other news/information websites (including Wikipedia) under a false identity in order to promote a certain viewpoint or create the illusion of having strength in numbers regarding that viewpoint. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>knols &#8211; gotta catch em all</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This just in: Google has released its own version of Wikipedia, but with a few twists. Knol, a so-called &#8220;wiki with bylines,&#8221; is, like Wikipedia an attempt to survey human knowledge via written articles on a variety of subjects. But unlike Wikipedia, the authors of articles cannot remain anonymous &#8211; and edits are made via [...]]]></description>

		<title>what exactly do you mean by &#8220;democracy?&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been a bad blog mommy this week, so here&#8217;s to making up for lost time.  The reason I&#8217;ve been a bit absent is because I&#8217;ve been spending a lot of time reconsidering the direction and focus of my thesis. The more I learn about Web 2.0&#8242;s interactions with democracy, the more baffled I am. [...]]]></description>

		<title>rethinking knowledge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those of you who haven&#8217;t read the very first post in this blog, you&#8217;ll probably want to do so before you read this one, as it makes far more sense in context. Contrary to one of my personal life mantras &#8220;please keep your destination in mind&#8221; (the motto of Norton Juster&#8217;s logical opus of [...]]]></description>

		<title>ready or not, here everybody comes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really dig this quote from the 2008 book &#8220;Here Comes Everybody,&#8221; written by Internet analyst Clay Shirky.  &#8220;The increase in the power of both individuals and groups, outside traditional organizational structures, is unprecedented.Many institutions we rely on today will not survive this change without significant alteration and the more an institution or industry relies [...]]]></description>

		<title>congresspedia and sourcewatch: the future of investigative journalism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Journalists are now utilizing web 2.0 technology as a means of collaborating with other journalists. Halfway between Wikipedia and the blogosphere, the Center for Media and Democracy&#8217;s project SourceWatch is a collaborative directory of people, organizations, and issues shaping public life.
